You clearly need to brush up on your reading skills; because there was nowhere in my entire posts that I mentioned Diya; neither did I stated or implied that Adulsalami Abubakar was a member of the PRC but instead that he and OBJ succeeded Abacha and both used their offices to pursue a campaign of calumny against the latter because they already had a grudge against him - pls do not put words into my mouth.

In a civilized conversation, you just state that you didn’t mention Diya, no need for insults. But I understand where you’re coming from.

Nevertheless, it’s interesting that you accuse a former head of state who succeeded Abacha and clearly would’ve been privy to such illegal agreement, and also a former president who clearly would’ve known of such treacherous agreement.

Wonder why I call it illegal and treacherous? Because when a country’s money becomes your personal property to be used by you and your family without accountability, you’re a classic example of the most corrupt dictator in the world. The fact that he used his family’s name to stash money in various parts of the world? I have no better words to describe a criminal.

What he did isn’t what I’m really concerned about though because with time, his loots will be uncovered, the fact that you find justification in such heinous crimes tells a lot.

I regret that you felt insulted for stating the obvious - truly you need to do something about your comprehension because you seem to continue making the same mistake.

First of all, didn't claim or implied to be privy to any agreement between members of the PRC but merely repeated what some of them said about the issue - which is still available in the public domain (you too can google Bamaiyi or Jeremiah Useni pertaining to the so called Abacha loot).

Secondly, I did not in anywhere justified Abacha's action concerning the loot but stated the circumstances and motive behind such action as explained by the mentioned surviving members of the PRC; the penultimate paragraph of my last post clearly highlighted my position on that - pls go back and read it again, this time very clearfully.

I’m not sure where I stated that you were privy to the decision of the PRC, it seems someone needs to do a reading of their own, but anyway, I’ll focus on the issue for now and ignore your consistent distractions. Maybe it will help if I pulled up your early comments. Search for this paragraph in your first submission which triggered my initial reply:


The decision was taken joint by the PRC and in view of the need for absolute secrecy agreed to allow Abacha determine the fine details of the concealment.

So my earlier question was, if this was a decision by the PRC according to you, why wasn’t Abdulsalami Abubakar privy to it?

Again, to reinforce the point that you were not just stating what they said, you were stating that to be a fact you believed, here’s another submission from the same post which triggered my initial response:


“Surviving members of the Abacha regime who took part in that decision of the PRC, such as Generals Bamaiyi and Useini, have on several occasions held press interviews confirming that decision but their voices had been drowned under the massive propaganda machinery of successive govts in power (Abdulsalami Abubakar & OBJ) as well as members of NADECO who had obviously had huge issues with Abacha - and could conveniently malign a dead man without fear of contradiction.”

Those who knew the truth have already spoken; unfortunately the hatred for Abacha, as fuelled by his enemies, is preventing many Nigerians from accepting this version of events.”

This clearly shows a person stating what he believes in to be the fact. Your words, not mine.

Is it so difficult to own up to what you believe in?
